I highly recommend the Columbus Motor Inn if you are visiting or shopping in downtown SF, Fisherman's Wharf, Nob Hill, North Beach, etc. It is within 3 blocks of Ghirardelli Square, the Buena Vista and the cable car terminal. The room we had was very nice (Room 302) with a large flat screen TV and a large bathroom. We could... more

Columbus Motor Inn is a plain, clean motel with a very easy, in and out, free parking lot on the street level. No valet parking because it isn't needed. II's economical for anyone who needs a car while in SF. We stayed for 5 nights. A couple of the nights were a bit noisy very late because of a nearby... more

I don't have a single complaint about our stay. The room was clean, comfortable, and modern...complete with a flat-screen TV. And for the girls...there IS a hairdryer in the room! We didn't have a whole lot of interaction with the staff other than toward the end of our stay, but they were very accommodating, even calling a cab to take... more

After reading the reviews on Trip Advisor, we decided to give this place a try, and I must say that it exceeded our expectations. We had a lovely room with a balcony overlooking Columbus Avenue. The bed was very comfortable and we enjoyed the flat screen TV. Our room was clean, and the staff was very friendly. We were within... more

After reading all of the positive reviews, I decided to give it a try. We only needed one night in the city, and also wanted the hotel well/centrally located. The reviews were right on - very reasonably priced with the free parking, rooms exceptionally clean (cleaner than more expenisve places I've stayed) and the rooms seemed quite quiet. Right around... more

I have to say that the 3:00 check in is a little ridiculous. I arrived at the hotel at 2:00 and knew about the 3:00 check in. I did my paper work and told the guy at the front desk I would go to Wharf ,eat and come back to take my luggage to the room. I returned at 2:55... more

Hotel was in a good location for walking to cable cars, the Wharf, and Pier 33 for Alcatraz Tours. Everywhere else we wanted to go was reached by car, also made easy because the parking at Columbus Motor Inn is free, which is a big plus. The reception staff was very friendly. Would have been nice to have a mini... more

View from the window was great. Would reccomend 3rd floor room facing columbus ave as you get the views. Newly decorated and car... more
